One common error in the clinical setting is failure to include a five-minute rest period. Errors can also include talking during the measurement procedure, using an incorrect cuff size and failure to take multiple measurements. Time constraints are also quite common for casual measurements.

Blood pressure categories in the new guidelines are: Normal: 120/80 mm Hg or lower. Elevated: This used to be called prehypertension. The top number (systolic) is between 120 and 129 and the bottom number (diastolic) is 80 or lower. Elevated blood pressure can turn into high blood pressure if no action is taken.
